Yu wrote:“I want to also feature something we’re tentatively calling “Duck Mode”, which will be a kind of mini-story running concurrently with the main plot,”
“My idea is that, all along, there’s been this duck who keeps inadvertently getting mixed up in Ryo’s affairs, all the way since the first game. For example, not only was the duck actually present when his father was murdered but he also unknowingly set off a chain of events that led to that moment.”
“I want the game to just start on the side of a lake and you get to just be a duck for a little while.”
“But the quest for food is always your main concern and it’s whilst out searching for some bread scraps you get captured and forced into illegal racing, where you then wander into Ryo’s story and follow the narrative along with his, waddling to the rescue as Ryo’s secret guardian angel.”
